This article reviews the existing work in self-healing and self-repairing technologies, including work in software engineering, materials, mechanics, electronics, MEMS, self-reconfigurable robotics, and others. It suggests a terminology and taxonomy... Read More about Self-healing and self-repairing technologies.

Creating a Self-configuring Finite State Machine out of Memory Look-up Tables (2013)
Journal Article
Schiefer, P., McWilliam, R., & Purvis, A. (2013). Creating a Self-configuring Finite State Machine out of Memory Look-up Tables. Procedia CIRP, 11, 363-366. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procir.2013.07.030

A finite state machine (FSM) is one of the most used digital logic applications in today's electrical systems. An FSM can be implemented in electrical systems based on programmable logic devices (PLD) or combinatorial logic platforms. Both platforms...

Demonstration of a Self-recovering ALU Using a Convergent Cellular Automata (2013)
Journal Article
McWilliam, R., Schiefer, P., & Purvis, A. (2013). Demonstration of a Self-recovering ALU Using a Convergent Cellular Automata. Procedia CIRP, 11, 373-378. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procir.2013.07.026

This paper presents work in progress towards the demonstration of a self-restoring arithmetic logic unit (ALU) based on convergent cellular automata (CCA). The need for fault tolerance and self-recovery strategies for electronic circuits is discussed... Read More about Demonstration of a Self-recovering ALU Using a Convergent Cellular Automata.

Concepts of self-repairing systems (2013)
Journal Article
Bell, C., McWilliam, R., Purvis, A., & Tiwari, A. (2013). Concepts of self-repairing systems. Measurement and Control, 46(6), 176-179. https://doi.org/10.1177/0020294013492285

Systems fail. Period. No matter how much planning and fault analysis is performed, it is impossible to create a perfectly reliable machine. The existing approach to improving reliability invariably involves advances in fault prediction and detection... Read More about Concepts of self-repairing systems.

Fabrication of a 3D electrically small antenna using holographic photolithography (2013)
Journal Article
Toriz-Garcia, J., Cowling, J., Williams, G., Bai, Q., Seed, N., Tennant, A., …Ivey, P. (2013). Fabrication of a 3D electrically small antenna using holographic photolithography. Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, 23(5), Article 055010. https://doi.org/10.1088/0960-1317/23/5/055010

We describe the novel fabrication of a 3D electrical small antenna and its subsequent characterization. The patterning of meander lines conformed onto a hemispherical substrate is achieved by 3D holographic photolithography, which uses time-division...
